Shaun Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Black is the pick. Id be concerned about the amount of mileage on both cars though. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79036-which-32-should-i-get/#findComment-1442281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismo_Boy Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Having had two R32’s one with a sunroof and one with out, both had coilovers (Teins in non sunroof and Apexi’s in the sunroof car) I myself would get the non-sunroof car. I found with mine the sunroof’d R32 flexed A LOT more under stress IE: mountain runs, drifting ect. And due to age the sunroofs tend to leak. In saying that though, the black car is cleaner and has less kay’s.

slow13dude Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I would go the grey/silver one. Black looks great... ...for about 5 minutes after you wash it, then it takes on a brown sheen!

NZM.031 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 are you 100% sure they are both gtsts??? as in have seen them up close with bonnets up?? have any pics of under bonnets??? the black one dead set looks like a GTE, definatly not a type m. go the grey one....for $2000 you could pick up another RB20, for another $1500 you could pick up an RB25 even. and you can go for a strap straight of the boat and enjoy it.. sounds good, looks good.. dont have to spend money on the basic straight up things... the brakes look like the standard calipers, type m's had bigger better brakes. they may have just been painted red. cheers Linton Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79036-which-32-should-i-get/#findComment-1442675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 you will need new 16" tyres on the grey cars rims.... I voted for the black car, but it also does not look like the turbo RB20 to me, at least from the rims and there is something about that front bar that seems non-turbo versionish Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79036-which-32-should-i-get/#findComment-1442799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLuded Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 mine 89 gtst came with those same wheels as the black one. i think they are the original NON m-spec wheels (might be wrong though) i would get the grey one checked by a mechanic to see if it was in good working order. if it was id take it.

predator Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 get the black fella.. Possible the rims have been swapped just with any old cheap crap they had sitting around to sell it off. Front bar same as the one that came on my GTS-T (crap for front mounts though) The other one has been toyed with.. performance mods obviously removed. I bet you the rest of the car is in poorer state of maintenance as well. Black is a bit of a bitch, but when dirty still looks nice and tough.. KM wouldn't worry about... OMG you might have actually got a couple of non-wound back cars.. because I think about 90% of 1989 cars have been from those figures to their magical 80-90k mark.

Bazelinez Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 The top one is not an M spec and it looks shit. The silver one for sure! Ks are quite high on both cars, so same dog different leg...

Rezz Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 The top one is a (quite rare now) R32 GTS-t - not Type M - with optional factory alloys. The brakes on the black GTS-t are rubbish, especially for a turbo car. For this matter alone I'd go for the Silver GTS-t Type M (I've got one - see sig). BUT - a couple of things: **The Black car looks like it's in overall better condition. This is something you should really take into consideration, as R32's are getting long in the tooth now. **The Silver car has the extra Type M goodies - 4-pot brakes, viscous LSD, GT-R style interior etc - but as with 99% of Type M's... it looks as though it's had a hard life. Expect to replace clutch, LSD, suspesion components; fix rusted out rear wheel arches (around the body kit), and other minor mechanical things. Having said that, if you want to play it safe, go for the black car. If you don't mind fixing lots of stuff (but end up with a better car), go for the silver car.

silver gts-t Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 black one looks like its had an easier life, brakes can b upgraded easily.... just by looking at the silver one i wouldnt buy it... who knows in the end Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79036-which-32-should-i-get/#findComment-1443027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR32 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 M Spec only came out in 1993---> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=39145 (4 piston front brakes, 2 piston rears, super hicas, bigger factory turbo, grey face dash etc) Noticed something strange...both of the drivers seats look like series1 r32 seats, yet the passenger seats and door trim look like velour (series2). And i say depending on what qualities in a 32 you're after and what you're gonna be using it for/doing to it should help determine which one you want Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79036-which-32-should-i-get/#findComment-1443043 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Type M was available from May 1989 to July 1993. I've PM'd funkymonkey to change his post.
